The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 234 Dianchi Lake
Haikou Town, Dianchi Lake!

When Liu Tao and the leaders arrived here, it was already a large construction site.

Factory 356 is under construction, and the Panshan Machinery Factory headquarters has also started land leveling.

This is a suburb with a vast area and sparse population. It was actually a rural area before. This large area of ​​land was either mountains and forests or farmland, but now it has all been assigned to Panshan Machinery Factory.

This was not the first time that the leaders came here, but it was the first time that they came here with Liu Tao.

The preparatory team of Panshan Machinery Factory is in Kunming City, preparing for the establishment of its headquarters.

10 square kilometers of land, 15000 acres of land, and this does not even include shopping malls, schools, etc. This is definitely a big deal.

The leaders have no doubt that a city will develop here after the headquarters is built.

The planned number of workers at Factory 356 is expected to reach 2, and including their families, the total number is at least 8!
Together with the Panshan Machinery Factory headquarters, this place will be fully equipped for office and scientific research, with a total of 10 employees, and including their families, the number is likely to reach .

Factory 356 and Panshan Machinery Factory headquarters alone will bring 18 people here.

And now the population of Kunming is less than one million!
18 people, which accounts for almost 20% of the current population of Kunming!

Moreover, the employees here can be regarded as a high-income group, which will inevitably drive the economic development here.

At one point, a leader even suggested moving the municipal or provincial government here.

"Director Liu, the design of roads and railways has been completed, and construction is scheduled to begin in half a month!" said the leader.

The road was designed to high standards in accordance with Liu Tao's requirements. It connects the urban area and has a total length of 35 kilometers. It can be said to be of expressway standard. The load capacity of roads and bridges is greatly improved compared to current standards.

The railway is connected to the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, which is about 30 kilometers long.

"Dear leaders, thank you for the strong support from the province and the city!" Liu Tao hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The leader smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we have to thank you, Director Liu, for choosing to keep the headquarters in Yunnan Province instead of choosing Chengdu or Shancheng! It is because of the development of your Panshan Machinery Factory in the past two years that we don't have to worry about the unemployment rate."

The development of Panshan Machinery Factory has driven the development of a number of state-owned factories and absorbed a large number of workers, so that Yunnan Province does not need to worry about the development and problems of state-owned factories like other provinces, nor does it need to invest a lot of money to rescue state-owned factories. Not to mention, the construction of large and medium-sized reservoirs has created a large number of jobs, allowing a large number of farmers to work at construction sites during the slack season, and forming a large tank area.

Now there are almost no unemployed people in the entire Yunnan Province.

Even in other distant cities, unemployed young people are absorbed into Kunming, Qujing and other places.

The provincial leaders are well aware that Kunming’s geographical location cannot be compared with that of Chengdu and Shancheng, not to mention the situation on the border.

They knew why Liu Tao chose Kunming as his headquarters.

The province and the city are also actively cooperating.

Liu Tao's heart moved, he looked at Dianchi Lake, and said: "Leaders, if a park is formed around Dianchi Lake, it will be very beneficial to the future development of Kunming City. In the future, the population of Kunming City will soon exceed 2 million, 3 million, 4 million or even 5 million, and this place will become a good place for citizens to play."

Dianchi Lake, also known as Kun Lake and Kunchi, is a large lake in Yunnan Province and the largest freshwater lake. It is known as the Pearl of the Plateau. Rivers such as Panlong River flow into it. The lake surface is 1886 meters above sea level and covers an area of ​​330 square kilometers. The average water depth is 5 meters and the deepest is 8 meters.

Now because of the small population and minimal pollution, the water in Dianchi Lake is very clear, and many people around the area even drink the water from the lake.

But Liu Tao had an impression that he had been to Dianchi Lake for tourism and had learned about it. With the development of Kunming City, industrial wastewater and domestic sewage were discharged into Dianchi Lake, making it one of the most eutrophic lakes in China. The state and Yunnan Province invested hundreds of billions of yuan to control the pollution of Dianchi Lake, but with little effect.

To be honest, Liu Tao does not want such a beautiful Dianchi Lake to become a pool of stinky water.

And now is just the beginning, there is still time for everything.

Liu Tao also realized at this time that the planning and design of Factory 356 and the headquarters had ignored the issue of sewage treatment.

The leaders were stunned.

Environmental protection? Water quality protection?
How could they have such a concept at this time?

However, when they thought of Liu Tao's description, they could imagine that the water of Dianchi Lake would become dirty and smelly.

This could not help but attract their attention.

After all, Dianchi Lake is the lifeblood of Kunming City. There is also a high-end sanatorium built here. No one wants to see Dianchi Lake become dirty and smelly.

They were happy to see Liu Tao's suggestion of taking precautions before things happen. After all, Panshan Machinery Factory could do it first and then see the results.

As for building a park with Dianchi Lake as the center, although it cannot be done now, it is still possible to draw a red line and build a park in the urban area.

Liu Tao looked at Dianchi Lake. He only hoped that he could have an impact on it, so that it could maintain its current beauty instead of being polluted due to economic development and then having to invest hundreds of billions of yuan in its remediation to no avail.

Because by that time, it will be too late to reverse the situation.

With a large number of people, a large number of factories, no early planning, and weak awareness of environmental protection, isn't it normal for sewage to be discharged into Dianchi Lake?

However, if good planning is done in the early stages and strict environmental policies are implemented, pollution can be avoided to a large extent.

Afterwards, Liu Tao met with the members of the preparatory team and requested to build a sewage treatment plant.

This left everyone stunned, even the design institute was confused.

Since they had no exposure to it at all, Liu Tao had no choice but to do it himself. He had worked in this field before and knew there should be no problem in theory.

Rainwater and sewage are separated, and sewage is discharged into the sewage treatment plant through sewage pipes. The sewage is treated through the sewage treatment process of the sewage treatment plant. The treated tail water is either used for green belts or discharged into lakes. They have the conditions here to discharge it directly into the downstream of Haikou Chuanzi Gate instead of directly into Dianchi Lake.

With just one large sewage treatment plant, all the sewage from the headquarters, Factory 356 and even the surrounding areas can be treated.

Through the combination of short-term and long-term plans, the first phase of the project will treat 10 m/d of sewage, the second phase of the factory will treat 15 m/d of sewage, and the third phase of the project will treat 20 m/d. The third phase will reach a sewage treatment scale of 45 m/d, which is the sewage generated by a population of approximately million.

This is also the type of sewage produced by the Panshan Machinery Factory headquarters and Factory 356.

It is enough to collect the sewage from the entire area through sewage pipes and send them to the sewage treatment plant.

As for the location of the sewage treatment plant, it was chosen downstream of Haikou Chuanzi Gate, so that the treated tail water can be discharged directly into the water body instead of into Dianchi Lake.

As for the sewage treatment plant, it covers an area of ​​700 acres.
